American Young Adult Novels and Their European Fairy-tale Motifs

Descripción

The author traces the presence of fairy-tale motifs in 11 novels for young adults published in the 1980s and suggests that teachers can use the motifs to introduce their students to the idea and practice of literary criticism, and to demonstrate how common themes and patterns can appear across boundaries of genre and medium. The motifs discussed are "the helper," "the unpromising hero/heroine," "abandoned children," "magic," and "deception."Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
